100% Sagrantino, harvested early to preserve acidity and freshness. Made in the CHampagne method and aged 24 months on the lees. Disgorged on demand for the importer and dosed with 6-8g/L. 12.5% alcohol. Let’s be clear—this ain’t your average brunch wine. In the glass: a shimmering pale ruby, almost like the inside of a ripe pomegranate. The nose bursts with wild strawberries, sour cherry, rhubarb, and blood orange, followed by a subtle savory note—think crushed herbs and almond biscotti.
On the palate, it’s nervy, electric, and precise. Tart red berries, citrus peel, and a delicate note of rosewater dance alongside hints of brioche and salted almonds from the extended lees aging. There’s a whisper of tannic grip (Sagrantino never lets you forget who it is), but it’s wrapped in creamy mousse and laser-cut acidity.
